Stan Laurel, standing at an exact 5ft 8 (172.7 cm), embodied the quintessential lanky, bumbling everyman in comedy. His height amplified his slender frame and awkward physicality, making him the perfect foil in the legendary duo Laurel and Hardy, where his elongated limbs and pratfalls defined slapstick mastery.
